The Presidency on Sunday night reacted to recent calls by individuals and groups for the restructuring of the country, describing such calls as unwarranted and unpatriotic.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said this in a statement made available to journalists.

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, had on Saturday joined other prominent Nigerians to call on the Federal Government, led by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to urgently restructure the country to save it from breakup.


The cleric, who spoke at a symposium alongside the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi; former Governor of Cross River State and former presidential aspirant, Donald Duke and a former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, warned that it was either the country restructured as soon as possible or it broke up. “You don’t have to be a prophet to know that one,” he added.

But Shehu described such calls as “recurring threats to the corporate existence of the country.”


The statement read, “The Presidency responds to the recurring threats to the corporate existence of the country with factions giving specific timelines for the President to do one thing or another or else, in their language, ‘the nation will break up.’

“This is to warn that such unpatriotic outbursts are both unhelpful and unwarranted as this government will not succumb to threats and take any decision out of pressure at a time when the nation’s full attention is needed to deal with the security challenges facing it at a time of the COVID-19 health crisis.

“Repeat: this administration will not take any decision against the interests of 200 million Nigerians, who are the President’s first responsibility under the constitution, out of fear or threats especially in this hour of a health crisis.

“The President as an elected leader under this constitution will continue to work with patriotic Nigerians, through and in line with the parliamentary processes to finding solutions to structural and other impediments to the growth and wellbeing of the nation and its people.”

That's a man with a listening ear. God bless Nigeria

North is always afraid of Nigeria break up because they can't survive the crushing poverty and terrorism that Islam has blessed them with.

South has been their only lifeline since 1912 when Lord Lugard returned from India to head the Royal Niger Company of West Africa.

Parasitism is to North the only survival instinct. We Niger Deltans will put a stop to this soonest

Ok

Then Nigeria will break up by force ! It is either you restructure or risk break up. Enoch Adeboye

The threat of government is threatening it's own citizens that it promised same restructuring but failed to fulfilled.
Useless dumbasses.

Dog that will be lost, will not hear the whistle of the hunter

Patriotic northern youth you mean.

Only few did not see those lies then

Buhari is behaving like Pharaoh of Egypt that refused to change the condition of suffering of Israelites or let them go until calamity befall pharaoh and his people.

The truth is, it is easier for southerners to get nigeria restructured than for a southerner to be president in 2023, but greed will not let us.


Let us continue deceiving ourselves.
